FAQ

How are my bundles handled by CloudWMS?

Bundles are created as single products in bol.com. To make sure that CloudWMS knows what their content is, you will need to create bundle products in CloudWMS. Please note that no stock synchronisation is possible for bundles, so you will need to update the stock in bol.com manually.

We advise you to keep a low a stock level in bol.com to make sure orders can always be dispatched and the risk of selling products that are not in stock are lower.
